Activity:

Harnessing the Power of Technology

Subject:

Radar Systems

Topic:

Conical Scan

OBJECTIVE:

Learning objective of this topic is to understand the conical scan topic practically. Watching these video students able to know how practically radar scans.


PLAN:

In my action plan first I selected the topic which is useful to the student with the harnessing the power of technology.

After selection of the topic (2nd step), gathered all the relevant information about the topic and prerequisites of the topic.

In third step I decided whether are there any readily available PPT (Power Pont Presentation) OR to prepare a new which will take 10mins maximum time.

In fourth step I choose and downloaded the screen recording software for that I used the BANDICAM software which is help to me for basic level presentation because I used a trail version it is record the video only 10mins, and also checked and practiced whether the topic complete or not within the time.

Finally I decided to share the YouTube video link through whatsapp.


For the preparation of PPT I browsed the web any animation videos are available but I did not find any animated video so a normal PPT was prepared.


WEBSITE LINK:

REFLECTIVE REPORT:

Using Harnessing technology was a good experience to me, I posted my you tube video link through whatsapp.


For recording the video I used the laptop, headset for clear audio recording along with BANDICAM SOFTWARE.


When I start recoding the video I had very much doubt about how will the students’ accepts it and how much they understand. After sharing the video, 90% (out of 60 students 55 have watched it within a day) and almost all of the students understood the topic very clearly. I checked whether they understood or not, by posing simple questions for which almost of them answered that’s why I’m very much satisfied.


For time management sake in middle of video i.e, from 5th to 6th minute fast explanation was done otherwise everything went well. So for the next time I maintain a constant teaching flow throughout the video.


I used trial version software so the video records only 10mins, next time for longer duration video I will change the software and also do my own animation ppt.

  3. Course, Topic & how collaborative activity will help:
  4. Course is LINEAR AND DIGITAL IC APPLICATIONS

    Topic is designing problem of signal generator for pulse carrier modulation.

    The object of this topic is: To utilize the designing process and applied it in real time application like pulse carrier modulation in digital and analog communication.

    1. Give the students a taste of the applications of the theories taught in the subject. This will be achieved through the project, collaborative learning activity and some selected lab sessions.
    2. Give the students a useful skill base that would allow them to carry out further study should they be interested and to work in the field.

  5. Objective of the Activity
  6. This activity will Develops higher level thinking skills and Student can build self-esteem and promotes a positive attitude toward the subject learning. Students able to explore alternate problem solutions in a safe environment and Stimulates critical thinking and helps students clarify ideas through discussion and debate.

    At the end of the activity, the students will able to

    Design the clock generator real time application

    Learn the real time application of the clock signal generators


  7. Plan to Create Teams
  8. I conduct a pre-test to the students to know about individual abilities. It will be considered while calculating the overall score of a student.

    Strategy for Team Formation:

    1. Based on their pretest performance, I group the teams and ensure that, each team should consist of low to high basic knowledge capable students.
    2. The size of the team would be 4 members.
    3. Total strength in my class is 42 students. Hence, I need to handle 11 teams.

    Before start the activity, I give a lesson on basics about signal generators with some simple examples.


  9. Time and plan of activity
  10. In different applications they applied the knowledge & topic what they learn.

    The total duration of the activity is about 3 weeks, each week 4 hours.

    I will give square signal / clock signal real time application problems.

    • In 1st week 1st hour:

      Conduct the pre-test and form groups and encourage the students and give the instructions of the activity.

    • In 1st week 2nd hour:

      I will be explain the clock signal generators using IC555 timers.

    • In 1st week 3rd hour:

      I will be explain the difference of clock signal generators or multivibrator using IC555 timers and OP-AMP.

    • In 1st week 4th hour:

      In each group one student give his presentation 5min, what they learn in this week.

    • In 2nd week 1st hour:

      I will be explain the applications of the each signal generator.

    • In 2nd week 2nd hour:

      I theoretical explain designing process of signal generators.

    • In 2nd week 3rd hour:

      Gives the designing problem to the each groups.

    • In 2nd week 4th hour:

      In each group one student give his presentation 5min about what are the results with them and justification of it.

    • In 3rd week starting three hour:

      In these three students are supposed to practically verify their designed value either simulation lab / analog electrical lab and also observe the theoretical and practical variations.

    • In 3rd week 4th hour:

      In each group one student give his presentation 5min about what they observed theoretical and practical values are matched or not.


    These three weeks activity is summarized as

      First, student need to go through the various IC’s are used to generate square signals.

      Let them to learn the operation of each and every circuit, analysis which provide required voltage and response voltage and current values.

      Apply the techniques to understand the given problem within group by oral discussions or lab session.

      To perform this, they need lab so I will provide a session in the analog electronics lab.

      Student need to solve the assigned problem individually.

      I plan to conduct a 5 minute presentation of each student in every week, to know about their progress and type of difficulties they faced.

      I also facilitate and motivate to complete the task.

      Assessment of individual performance is going to be done. Using the rubric given below in every week.

      Each student’s incremental score is calculated based on his pre-test score.

      The team member’s individual scores are then added to calculate the team score


    I keep monitoring the progress of each team and individuals performance in team.

    If a particular team is deviated from the task, then I instructed to make it in right way.


    Upon successfully completing the activity, the student should be able to have an appreciation of the fundamentals of signal generators including the topics of analysis and design. Be able to implement carrier signal generators in communication where modulation and demodulation techniques are used.

This virtual lab environment also makes the students observe and understand how to interface a seven-segment display to 8086, which they can’t observe in the physical laboratory available in the college.


This also makes students how to connect a crystal oscillator, resistor, and capacitor to a controller which will be helpful to the students while carrying out the academic projects in embedded systems using 8051 microcontroller.


By performing this experiment students can clearly understand the port requirements to connect a seven-segment display to a microcontroller and also verify the logic levels on the port visually which creates a greater impact in understanding the experiment.

    1. A brief introduction to Interfacing seven segment display to 8051
    2. 8051 microcontroller

      8051 is an 8 bit CISC (complex instruction set computer) based microcontroller fabricated with N-MOS technology, available in the DIP (Dual-in-line pin) package. It operates at a frequency of 11.0592 MHz and provides 4 ports (port 0, port 1, port2, and port3) which are used to connect peripherals without additional hardware. It also consists of 128 bytes of RAM and 4 KB of ROM. These are some of the features of 8051 that are to be known to perform to this experiment.

      Seven segment display

      As per the name, a seven-segment display comprises of seven LEDs (Light emitting diode) arranged as per figure 1. This display will display all numbers from 0 to 9 and also is capable of displaying some of the alphabetical letters as shown in figure 2.

      There is an additional 8th LED (a dot) which is represented as DP (decimal point) which is used when more than one seven-segment displays are connected to display numbers greater than 9.

      As each LED has two terminals namely anode and cathode, there are two types of displays available namely

      1. Common cathode display
      2. Common anode display

      Common cathode display

      In this display, all the cathodes of the display are joined together and connected to logic 0. To illuminate any of the segments of the display, logic 1 through a current limiting resistor has to be applied for the sake of forward biasing the individual Anode terminals.

      Interfacing 7 segment display to 8051

      To interface a seven-segment display that is available in the form of a 10 pin DIP package, any one of the 8-bit port of microcontroller has to be used. Out of 10 pins available in the display IC (integrated chip), 7 pins are for illuminating individual segments of the display, one is DP (decimal point) and the remaining two pins are common pins. These common pins are to be connected to ground in common cathode configuration whereas to be connected to Vcc (+5 volts) in common anode configuration.

      Port 0 is employed to connect the display to the microcontroller in the sample program given in the virtual lab environment. But any of the four ports can be used, which can be verified by you.
